Milbon Scalp Purifying Gel Shampoo 6.8 oz – detoxifying gel, cooling menthol & hyaluronic hydration

Milbon Scalp Purifying Gel Shampoo is a detoxifying, non-drying foaming gel that lifts excess fatty acids and residue from the scalp to refresh and rebalance hair and skin.

This concentrated gel shampoo was developed after research pinpointed excess fatty acids as a common contributor to scalp discomfort and build-up. The formula targets those residues without stripping natural moisture, using a physical foaming action that binds to oil and grime so it rinses away cleanly. Cooling menthol calms, hyaluronic acid hydrates, and licorice-derived dipotassium glycyrrhizate soothes the scalp, making it suitable for a range of scalp types when followed by Milbon’s Hydrating Treatment and Soothing Moisturizer for optimal results.

How does this gel shampoo remove buildup without drying hair?

The product uses a unique foaming gel that physically attaches to fatty acid deposits and lifts them off the scalp rather than dissolving them with harsh surfactants. That means effective detox with less disruption to the scalp’s natural oils and hair cuticle. Lightweight humectants and soothing extracts are included to preserve moisture balance during cleansing.

• Foaming gel binds to and removes excess fatty acids and residues.
• Gentle surfactant system reduces over-stripping of natural oils.
• Hyaluronic acid helps maintain hydration during wash.
• Follow-up conditioning recommended for softness and manageability.

Will it help me if my scalp feels itchy, flaky, or oily?

Many scalp complaints arise from surface build-up rather than a single condition; this shampoo focuses on removing that layer to restore a cleaner environment. The cooling menthol and dipotassium glycyrrhizate act to soothe sensations of itch or irritation while the cleansing action addresses oiliness and residue that can contribute to flaking. Results vary by individual, and repeated use with compatible treatments provides best effects.

• Menthol offers immediate cooling and refreshment.
• Dipotassium glycyrrhizate calms irritated scalp skin.
• Removes oil and product build-up that can worsen flakes.
• Recommended pairing: Hydrating Treatment and Soothing Moisturizer.

How should I use this shampoo for maximum benefit?

Apply to wet hair and work into the scalp to create the gel foam, focusing on areas with visible build-up or oil. Rinse thoroughly and repeat only if needed; follow with Milbon Hydrating Treatment to restore moisture and finish with the Soothing Moisturizer for targeted scalp care. Frequency depends on scalp condition—start with 2–3 times weekly and adjust.

• Wet hair thoroughly, apply a moderate amount to the scalp, massage to foam.
• Rinse completely; repeat if heavy build-up is present.
• Use Hydrating Treatment after shampooing, then Soothing Moisturizer as directed.
• Adjust wash frequency based on oiliness and comfort.

Is this product safe for colored or chemically treated hair?

The cleansing approach is designed to be non-drying and should be safe for most color- or chemically-treated hair when used as directed. Because it targets surface fatty acids rather than aggressively stripping, it helps preserve treated hair’s condition; still, follow with a restorative treatment to replenish moisture and protect color vibrancy.

• Non-drying gel minimizes risk to color-treated hair.
• Supports gentle cleansing without harsh stripping agents.
• Always follow with Hydrating Treatment for best protection.
• Patch test if you have a history of sensitivity to scalp products.

It’s suited for those who use styling products, live in urban environments with pollution and sebum accumulation, or who need a periodic deep cleanse between regular shampooing. Ideal users will combine it with Milbon’s Hydrating Treatment and Soothing Moisturizer for a balanced, refreshed scalp routine.
